Life's Moments + Recipe


Yes! It's Friday EVE! I'm excited because the weather is going to start warming up today and through the weekend here in DC!

I used SCS Color Challange for inspiration. I wanted to use the Sketch Challenge too, but I'm not too good with sketches, so that didn't work out! ;) I also wanted to use some new stamp sets I won from Paper Crafts Stamp It Week contest. They aren't stamp sets I would usually buy, so I liked working with them. I used two in this card, plus a PTI stamp (couldn't resist)!

Do you see that vintage frame? Isn't it so striking? I really like it and I picked it up last week at Michaels when they were having their Easter sale. There are four frames in each package and they are made to coordinate with other Sabrina Making Memories items.

This card took me FOREVER to make. Not because I was slow cutting or something, but because I couldn't figure out the layout, what to add, embellishments, etc. Finally, it all came together. I'm just glad I had the time to devote to it. I'll sure be happy to make a fast card for tomorrow's post and be done in a JIFFY!

One of my life's moments included a FAST and easy white chicken pizza I made last night. Have you ever had leftover chicken breast? Well, if you do (or if you just buy those grilled chicken strips in the deli section) you can make this pizza super fast. I've made it before, but this time I decided to share! I discovered the recipe from Sandra Lee from the Food Network. Here is the real recipe!

Ingredients

1 Crescent Rolls package
1 Bag of Mozzarella Cheese
Bit of Spinach (optional)
1 Chicken Breast cut into small bite-size pieces
2 Tbsp Alfredo Sauce (maybe less)

Instructions
  1. Roll out crescents into one sheet (will be a rectangle shape).
  2. Apply alfredo sauce lightly over the dough.
  3. Add chicken breast, spinach, and mozzarella cheese.
  4. Bake in oven at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes (or until done).
Yummy as an appetizer if you cut into mini squares, a quick lunch, or if you're like us a dinner! :)
I hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I truly appreciate you all! Have a great Thursday and enjoy life's moments.

Sandra Lee is the one who uses prepackaged foods as shortcuts. Giada would make the Alfredo sauce from scratch.
Pretty card.
